[The Beautiful Power]

Woah I really love how that underlying beat changed! It started off slower and smoothly became faster and jumpier all the sudden! That's really cool :D If I was going to be nitpicky I would say that something sounds a little off with some of the electronic striking sounds...but I can't place why I feel that way so there's that, but you might know something about those sounds that I don't so I figure I'll mention it! XD Great song in my opinion ^_^

littlelamp100 responds:

thank you :) the C64 sound can be a bit of an acquired taste

[Primeval Flame Hyena]

Oooo this sounds a lot like your usual electronic mix but still really cool in it's own way! I really like the reverberating rhythm used throughout the parts interlaced with the static as well as the melodic beeping. Really nice electronic song in my opinion ^_^

Drewpy responds:

Thanks so much!! I'm so happy you thought it was good!

[Eulogy]

This makes me think of those kinds of scenes where there is pale yellow lighting coming through a window and the camera pans across the face of someone thinking about his past; kinda like you seem to mention in the song’s description. As one who is more into instrumental music, I really like the melody. :) However, there were some parts where the pitch being sung and the accompanying melody don’t seem to blend as well, at least that’s what it sounds like to me. (for example at 2:40-ish) Not a big deal, but I wanted to mention it. ^_^;

IndustryStandard responds:

I don't mean to sound cocky or anything, but yeah I absolutely love the instrumentals in this song haha. I had actually written the lyrics and the music completely separate originally, but I felt like the song fit the mood for the lyrics so i tried to combine them. Not sure if i like the results or not but they're what i could do at the time.
I'm pretty new to adding vocals to my music so there's a good possibility that something might be a bit off. That point at 2:40 I was kind of going for a bit of dissonance though, since it's a bitter line that I'm singing right there, but there are a lot of things I'd like to change about the vocals on that song someday.

If you're interested, I have another version of this song called The Procession; It's what i originally wrote before i altered it to match the lyrics in this song. It's basically a shorter, simpler version of this. Just thought I'd mention it.

[TriumphOverAll]

Digging this beat! :) I really like that echo-y metalic sound that pops in every so often as well. You've also confirmed what I heard about fl studio not letting you save your work and come back later. O_O Props to you for putting this together in one sitting! ;)

xxUltimaWeapon responds:

I'm really glad you like it! If I wasn't so cheap I would buy the program, thus allowing me to save projects and come back to them. XD Thanks for the feedback, it's always good to hear when someone enjoys the work. If you really like this style, click that favorite button so you can hear the stuff I write in the future, because this is the style i'm trying to really develop. =P

[Penumbra of the Knight]

Cue the epic choir and drums of death! D: lol yeah this totally has a skyrim feel to it. Also, i don't know how to explain it, but I like how the choir is a little...lighter? With more short, shouting vocals rather than having constant heavy vocals. It gives the song an interesting feel, light yet still epic. :)

HeAvEn-SmiLE responds:

Ha ha,actually that is because this library I'm using does have realease problems! :p

Thanks for the review! :)

[Ketamine Club [Demo 2.0]]

This sounds really trippy. O_O I really like the chime-y rhythm; it makes me think of so many different game soundtracks. Mainly rayman music, but that "synthetic voice?" sound reminds me of the shadow queen theme from paper mario and the thousand year door...i know, that sounds random, but I wanted to mention it. :)

Blakren responds:

If you got "trippy" from this, than the experiment worked. Tried to replicate what music sounds like on K. Thanks a lot for the review!
